Sheffield is "extremely close" to being shut down for the rest of the season. Omar refused to trade him to the team that claimed him (who I'm pretty sure was either the Giants or Rockies), and instead they get nothing for the guy and he's barely played at all since the non-move. Little things like that are what annoy me most about Minaya.
Although I like Jerry, he does make some curious lineup decisions. Right now, I'm thinking Josh Thole and Omir Santos should be handling all of the catching for the rest of the year, as the Mets have bigger needs to fill next year so you may as well see what those two guys can bring to the table. But today, Brian Schneider is out there, bringing his .185 batting average, against a lefty to boot. Thankfully only 26 or so games left in this dismal season.
